Food is excellent. But Always room for improvement like waiting time and appropriately letting folks know through texts when food is actually ready for pick up.

First time here. The food was very flavorful. The wings, Mac and cheese, baked beans and Cajun pasta; delicious I got all that for 20. I really appreciate the cost and portion size. I waited 30 minutes and it was worth it. I went late night 1am happy they ope late.

Started going here over a year ago. Their hours are definitely not my favorite—they only open from 11:30 P.M. to 4:00 AM, which can be inconvenient if you're craving BBQ earlier in the day. Despite this, the food usually makes up for the limited schedule. I stopped visiting for a while when they started giving smaller portions of rib tips and began throwing in slices of bread with the meal. It just didn’t feel worth it anymore. But recently, I had a craving and decided to give them another shot. I ordered the loaded cheesesteak fries, and I was glad I did. The combination of meat, bell peppers, onions, and melted cheese was absolutely delicious! Their jerk chicken is another standout dish—it’s always packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. Not too spicy at all. Even better, my husband and I were able to share the meal boxes for dinner and still had leftovers to enjoy for lunch the next day. The portions were generous this time around, and we both loved the flavors. Smoky Kitchen BBQ still has some of the best-tasting food in town when they get it right, and for that, I love it.

Always fast service when I order online. It’s a late night atlanta food truck after all so online ordering is the way to go. Gotta try the rib tips and Mac and cheese. Def a stop to make if you want some good late night food.

Thanks for coming out to our EMS Week event! Everyone had great comments about your food. The Cajun chicken pasta was great and seasoned very well! Will definitely catch up with you on an upcoming night.
